By: Chloe BrownIn America, the drinking age

limit is a controversial subject. Questions such as, “Why is it so high?”, “Should it be lower?”and “Why is the age limit so dras-tically different from foreign countries?” often float around this conversation. However, what most people do not take into consideration is that there are both pros to having the drinking age limit set so high and there are cons.

Currently, the drinking age is 21. To answer the question about the high drinking age limit, it is important to consider its his-tory.

In July 1984, the National Minimum Legal Drinking Age Act was put into motion. This law re-quired the prohibition of a per-son under 21 to consume in alco-hol. However, this law did more than just address the problem of underage consumption. If states

did not conform to this law, the government would take away their funding from federal high-way programs in that state.

There are a multitude of people who agree with this act. Organizations such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Choose Responsibility, and even ABC television have posted articles that are pro-21 drinking age. However, the most influential group that supported this law was the Alcohol Police Informa-tion System.

The reason why the drinking age was so strongly advocated beyond just funding for high-ways was the fact that in 1970 to 1975 when the government low-ered the drinking age, underage drinking drastically increased. The Arizona Department of Pub-lic Safety recorded a more than a 35 percent increase in traffic fatalities when the drinking age was changed from 21 to 19.

According to Dr. David Jerni-gan, director of the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth, countries such as Denmark and the United Kingdom, that have lower drinking ages, show high-er levels of underage drinking than those countries with higher age limits.

A concern about the ongo-ing effects of youth drinking re-mains. Getting drunk can lead to binge drinking which can be a slippery slope towards alcohol-ism or death.

The flip side of the coin is the pressure from youth to change the drinking age back to 18. One organization that is anti-21 drinking age is the Students for Sensible Drug Policy. One of the reasons they state for lowering the drinking age is that about 90 percent of those 18 to 20 years still consumed alcohol despite the increase to 21.

However, even the organiza-

tion Choose Responsibility states that when alcohol is not treated as a big deal, allowing 15- and 16-year-olds to imbibe occa-sional drinks per month tended not to lead towards the danger-ous path of intoxication. This is because young people are not socialized into believing that al-cohol is this big, scary thing, and are able to enter the drinking environment with a responsible and controlled adult.

Often alcohol is seen more as a cultural thing than a “party” item. In France and Italy, having more than two bottles of wine during dinner is not a big deal; however, their dinners are far longer than the average Ameri-can dinner. Since the French have longer dinners they are less like-ly to get drunk, because the con-sumption is evenly spaced out.

Even in countries where teen drunkenness is higher, they have programs that allow designated

drivers to drink free while their buddies get drunk. Which avoids the whole problem of people driving drunk. Those who want to drink have access to a service across Europe for designated drivers to come pick up intoxi-cated people. Because even in Europe where drinking ages are lower, they are still against drunk driving. Some of these programs are available in the U.S.; however, they are not al-ways well advertised.

In summation, there are plus-ses just as there are minuses to changing the drinking age.

However, one question re-mains. Is the drinking age help-ing the youth or is it just helping the state? Perhaps it is not the drinking age that is the problem in America; it could possibly be the way Americans socialize youth with regards to alcohol.

By: Ramses TejedaOn March 22 at 8 a.m. Brus-

sels time in Zaventem Airport at there was an explosion. Ten people were confirm dead and about 100 people where wound-ed. A second attack happen at Maelbeek metro station at 9:11 a.m. About 20 people were killed and 130 more where injured in the attack.

Two suicide bombers deto-nated incendiaries at the airport and one man is being sought.

The three man where caught on airport cameras, but noth-ing was done. Reports said that they spoke in Arabic before the bombs went off. ISIS claimed re-sponsibility for the attacks. One of the terrorists detonated the bomb at a registration desk and the other attacker took out his gun and began shooting, before detonating his bomb.

An hour later a bomb went off on a metro station in the heart of Brussels. Twenty people im-mediately died then and an ad-ditional 106 were injured, 17 of them seriously. A random suit-

case placed inside the train was timed to explode.

Belgium has become a mourn-ing ground; many people are confused and shocked about the whole ordeal. The Belgium prime minister urged the com-munity not to hold rallies in case of any other potential bombings. Belgium has become a war-torn country; however, it has seen support from many different na-tions around the world. It has been said that the attack was not meant for Belgium but for the European Union. Belgium had already suspended their attacks on ISIS for over eight months and was even accepting Syrian refugees.

The attack seemed to be mo-tivated by the capture of Salah Abdeslam, the leader of the Paris attack. Abdeslam was able to remain undetected during the four -month manhunt in Bel-gium. Abdeslam was hidden and supported by immigrants in his hometown, Molenbeek.

President Obama’s top coun-ter terrorism adviser, Lisa Mo-

naco said that “they are sophis-ticated and coordinated terror attacks.”

This brings the question, what are we doing that isn’t enough? How many more people will need to die before we can finally say we will stop this?

While some of the attacks have been against government officials, most have involved in-nocent bystanders, including children. ISIS indiscriminately target whomever they needed in order to spread terror in the hearts of the public.

President Obama addressed the issue by stating, “This is yet another reminder that the world must unite, and we must be to-gether regardless of nationality or race or faith in fighting against the scourge of terrorism.”

Stereotyping Muslims isn’t the correct response, because they too are being harmed by ISIS. Muslim women are being sold and violated of their human rights. Muslim men have been killed because they stand against ISIS.

Stateside, both parties used political rhetoric to gain ground with constituencies. Republican presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz used the Belgium terrorist attack to tar-get Muslims with travel bans and surveillance programs. Demo-cratic candidate Hillary Clinton attacked Republican candidates for demonizing Muslims.

Our Lady of the Lake student, Sebastian Luehr, commented on the situation as the attack was in his home of Europe: “It makes me sad that many innocent peo-ple had to die. At the same time, it fustrates me that the media only extensively covers terror-ist atttacks that occur in allied countires such as France in 2015 and now Brussels in 2016...My condolences go out to those who died in all of these places. At the same time, I encourage everyone to ask themselves why the media barely ever covers terroristic at-tacks in Islamic countries.”

Dean’s List Fall 2015:Congratulations from the Lake Front

By: Christopher RobinsonDo you want to be successful

in your career? Are you looking for opportunities to obtain a job after you graduate? If you are a breathing student, chances are you answered “Yes,” to both questions. According to the Na-tional Association of Colleges and Employers, a staggering 95

percent of employers said can-didate experience is a factor in hiring decisions.

The best way to receive that experience is through intern-ships. Internships are the icing on a resume; employers want to know that they are hiring in-dividuals who know what they are doing.

Low on funds? Don’t worry, there are many internships that are paid. What’s better than being paid in order to gain ex-perience that can get you paid more? All OLLU students have

the ability to get an internship. Located on the first floor of Main building is the Center for Career Development and Test-ing, which has trained profes-sionals who work with students to find internships that best fit them. The Center for Career De-velopment and Testing trains students on how to properly answer interview questions, helps create resumes and even offers loaner clothing to help interviewees look dapper at events and interviews. “When I hire my students, the first thing

I look at is what experience they have that complements the job,” said Cathrine Fragoso, Director of Student Leadership and Development. The long-term goal of any student is to reach graduation and open the door to success. An internship will be the foot in the door of that success.

The Lake’s Courtney Lynn Dailey already has received some experience with getting his foot in the door. Dailey is a senior in the mass commu-nication program at Our Lady

of the Lake. During the fall se-mester Dailey interned with a company called Live Fund. The company is a micro lender that specializes in offering small businesses loans. “I worked as a communication intern where I was responsible for civic en-gagements and preparing press releases,” said Dailey. When asked what he most enjoyed about his internship experi-ence Dailey replied, “Getting paid was nice, and now I’m al-most positive of what I want to do after graduation.”

Get your Foot in the DoorInternships are a gateway to a great career.

Release Reminder:Game Of Thrones

Season 6 April 24thBy: Angela Clark

The Powerpuff Girls ran from 1996 to 2005 as a lovely children's show about three girls born via a science experiment with the dan-gerous Chemical X.

The girls Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup all have superpowers - superhuman strength, speed, du-rability and stamina - thanks to the powerful Chemical X. The girls use their powers to protect their city from all types of evil.

The show was originally created by Craig McCracken and won two Emmy awards over its 78-episode (and one movie) run.

The show is coming back to Car-toon Network on April 4. Tom Ken-ny, who voiced the Narrator/Mayor

in the original series, will reprise his role for the reboot although there will be new voices for the Powerpuff Girl trio.

New voices of the Powerpuff Girls will be Amanda Leighton as Blos-som, Kristen Li as Bubbles, and Natalie Palamides as Buttercup. The designs of the Powerpuff girls are relatively the same, with only thin-ner outlines.

Along with the new designs and voice actors there will also be a new, exciting intro to Powerpuff Girls. As someone who grew up watching the show, I'm glad to see it return to Cartoon Network this year.

THE LAKE FRONTOur Lady of the Lake University Off Campus

By:Dray Baker Being paid to play a

college sport is a popular topic of discussion. Some say a student athlete’s compensation is their scholarship—if they start receiving monetary gifts, they should be labeled as a “professionals.” Others believe student athletes should be rewarded for the revenue they bring to their colleges and univer-sities.

Presently, the major-ity of student athletes get anywhere from $50 to $250 a month for liv-ing expenses, depending on the sport and school. Providing extra monetary benefits could bring ten-sion among the student

athletes and university sport programs. There is also the possibility some institutions would pay students in one sport but not others. Paying ath-letes could be a way to attract the best players to the biggest institutions and highest-grossing pro-grams. Less parity could be bad for business, which would be bad for everyone involved.

Many successful col-lege sports teams take in millions of dollars in revenue. The top coaches have multi-million dollar contracts, not including other benefits provided to them. If institutions and coaches are making this kind of money who or

what is to say the student athlete does not deserve the same?

Much is made about the limits that are placed on the time and resources of athletes while they are participating in their cho-sen sport at the univer-sity level. However, the NCAA now has a system that measures how well teams are performing. Teams with low scores can lose scholarships. But, if former players return to complete their degrees, they earn their team points towards avoiding these penalties. Athletic programs sometimes of-fer former athletes free tuition, housing, and oth-er assistance to encour-

age them to return to school.

The NCAA asserts they are promoting an educa-tional mission through their athletic programs, but the scholarships play-ers receive are of minimal compensation compared to the revenue the ath-letes generate in ticket and merchandise sales.

“Intercollegiate athlet-ics is a unique industry. No other industry in the United States manages not to pay its principal producers a wage or a salary,” said economist Andrew Zimbalist.

While scholarships pay for four years of academ-ics, this does not guar-antee a successful life

post-graduation. There is much to be debated about the NCAA’s moral respon-sibility to work to create a system that supports the needs of their students’ academic and career de-velopment after students’ playing years are com-pleted.

By: Pauline Fields March Madness is a time of

unpredictability. NCAA Divi-sion I colleges across the nation compete for the championship title. Fans also have a chance to participate and encourage their own team by making a bracket.

The bracket for 2016 was made on Selection Sunday, March 13. On Selection Sun-day viewers watched for team rankings and match-ups for the start of March Madness. Tears and smiles were spread while some team’s dreams were ei-ther crushed or launched.

Selection Sunday is impor-tant to fans because it is the building block for their brack-ets. Fans such as Barack Obama picked Kansas to win it all (and we all know that can’t hap-pen).

The position of teams and matches can determine wheth-er a team will have an easy or difficult road ahead. But with March Madness, an easy road may be disguised as a trip home.

I made my own bracket and picked Oregon to win it all, but fate was not in my favor. Mak-ing it to the Final Four were Villanova University, Oklahoma University, University of North Carolina, and Syracuse Univer-sity.

Villanova University, ranked number two, won its way to the final four out of the Southern

Regionals by defeating number one, University of Kansas. The players to watch for Villanova include Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, and Ryan Arcidiaco-no.

Villanova’s next match, the

semifinals, is against Okla-homa University. Oklahoma is also ranked number two but is from the Western Region of the NCAA brackets. Oklahoma took down my winning team, Or-egon, in the regional finals. The player to watch for Oklahoma is Buddy Hield, a three-point scoring machine.

The match between Villanova

and Oklahoma is scheduled for April 2. The other semifinal match to be played on April 2nd will be University of North Carolina against Syracuse Uni-versity.

The University of North Caro-

lina is the only basketball team on schedule as they are ranked number one in the East Region and made it to the Final Four. North Carolina claimed two previous titles as champions in the 1982 and 1993. The key player for North Carolina is se-nior Brice Johnson.

And finally, but not least, is the underdog Syracuse. The

team fought its way to the top from its number ten ranking in the Midwest Region. Although, the team has yet to face a higher ranked team, Syracuse is not to be underestimated. Syracuse’s team has no star players as the whole team is key. The top scor-er varies from game to game.

The stage is set for the Fi-nal Four to compete and bring their best game. This year the Final Four tournament will be played in Houston. Tickets may be hard to come by, but it would be worth a try to experience the madness in full reality.

The Finals are set for April 4. The winner takes the cham-pionship and the title of the Division I NCAA champion. As a viewer, I have no preference as to what team win, but I do hope for a good game with unpre-dictabilility

Its Time For Madness, March Madness!

By:Angela ClarkTeens and children alike went

crazy after Harvard announced the results of a recent study on the ef-fects of "Dabbing," a popular dance move. They found the dance move worked out traps, deltoids, biceps, and triceps in dancers. Approxi-mately 600 calories were burned during every monitored 30-min-ute "Dab session.” Researchers were astounded by the findings and claimed they too have started Dabbing in their spare time to melt

off pounds. Alessia Kelly, a top fit-ness guru has added Dabbing to her fitness routine and encourag-es her followers to do the same, " I can see the definition in my arms, to kick it up a notch though I've added wrist weights."

If you need to step up your arm game or have a few unwanted pounds just start Dabbing in your time and you'll see the pounds fly off!

THE LAKE FRONTOur Lady of the Lake University Views10/11

By: Ricky SaladnaWith Super Tuesday at

the beginning of March and the primaries only becoming more intense, one is instantly reminded of Niccolo Machiavelli’s magnum opus, “The Prince.”

For those who have never read, or even heard of, “The Prince,” it is es-sentially a how-to guide to gain favor, and political advantages from friends and coworkers whether or not you intend you repay those favors. This book has become so in-famous that the term Ma-chiavellian is used to de-scribe amoral scheming, and political plotting.

As such, it is important to study the past to see what has already been done and how the politi-cal climates of different societies have evolved, if at all.

The book is divided into three sections: the anatomy of principalities, military organization, and the figure of the Prince.

The final section is much more intimate and goes into deeper detail about what character-istics a “strong prince” should exude.

The most infamous chapter 18 “How a Prince Should Keep His Word” sets up the figure of the Prince as an isolated and

manipulative figure com-pletely separate from the social world, who must seize power from that world. Ironically enough, Machiavelli opens chap-ter 18 stating that princes who keep their word and are honest are praisewor-thy, but immediately af-terward, the author states that honesty is not always the policy that politicians take.

He goes into detail by examining two ways to take power: with law and with force. However, Ma-chiavelli notes that often the law is not sufficient to take power efficiently. So more often than not, a strong prince should take

power by force, using two metaphorical beasts: the fox and the lion.

The lion, the author ex-plains, is strong, loud, and aggressive; and the fox is cunning, swift, and wise. Machiavelli explains that since lions have no pro-tections from traps and foxes have to be fearful of wolves, a strong prince needs to personify both beasts.

To a wise ruler who personifies both beasts, legitimate reasons for not keeping promises are abundant. Since the general population is a “contemptible lot” they will more likely than not cheat you before you have

a chance to cheat them. Machiavelli then goes

on to state that a prince does not need to have all of these qualities; they just need to appear to have them, thus giving way to the phrase “it is better to be feared than to be loved.”

“The Prince” calls for scheming and political paranoia in the fear that everyone will take advan-tage of you. The only way to ensure that does not happen is to take advan-tage of them first.

The book fails to ac-knowledge that society works on collaboration, and people will naturally assume that one is tell-

ing the truth. Yet it seems many politicians and civilians still hold “The Prince’s” teachings to heart.

At this point, one should ask themselves “Does the world I live and work in depend on an el-ement of scheming or is honesty really the best policy?”

Book Review: “The Prince”A book from 1532 is still kicking and making sense in the current political secene.

By: Ricky SaladnaLambda Upsilon Lambda, found-

ed in 1982 at Cornell University, began a resurgence at OLLU by re-establishing a line of new members ora caballeros.

Historically, only recruiting from the top 100 schools in the coun-try, including Ivy League schools, LUL recently decided to expand to smaller and lower tier schools to provide more opportunities for mentors within the fraternity to groom undergraduates. These mentors act as positive male role models for those who seek them.

Caesar Alvarez, LUL regional director for Texas, stated that fra-ternity provides many resources, such as internships to political campaigns or offices. Alvarez said should any junior member not take advantage of those resources, those resources will be passed on to the rest of the student body.

When questioned about LUL’s

resurgence on campus, Alvarez noted that it was a collective effort of OLLU alumni and alumni from other chapters living in San Anto-nio that wanted to see LUL back on campus.

Alvarez said LUL’s mission on campus is fourfold: to recruit young men who were interested, develop them into productive in fraternal men, provide resources for their academic and professional growth and to provide networking opportunities, especially with The National Association of Latino Fra-ternal Organizations, the umbrella organization for LUL.

In addition to these focal points, Alvarez said that LUL would like to have a “friendly competitive spirit with the other fraternities on cam-pus,” to better the quality of these fraternities.

This is not to imply that LUL will see the other Greek organizations as rivals, but instead as peers and

looks forward to “helping other orgs” and becoming a “vehicle for success.”

On LUL’s behalf, Alvarez and an-other OLLU LUL alumnus stated that they will “keep breaking the stigmas that freshmen have when they come in. . . LUL is going to come on board and solidify that [solidar-ity] and say we are a strong alumni network based fraternity that is still [committed] to service and we are still about community.”

Knowing that a number of other Greek organizations were pro-posed to start recruiting and char-ter their chapters at OLLU, it is ex-citing to see a Greek organization coming on to campus with a solid plan and goals, with help not only from a local city level, but a nation-al organizational level as well.
